Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 7: Partagas Serie D No. 3 EL 2001

It is new year’s eve and I have chosen a special cigar for tonight, to farewell 2011. My corona gorda for tonight is the Partagas Serie D No.3 Edicion Limitada 2001. Although it was meant to be released in 2001, most of the D no.3’s were actually released in 2002, as the Cubans realized they didn’t have enough [...]

Partagas Serie D Especial EL 2010

For the past two weeks I have been battling against a chest infection (also known as man-flu in female terms) which has left me unable to enjoy a cigar… A couple of attempts have been unsuccessful; but eventually, I have managed to get rid of it, just in time to start getting my lungs “into [...]

Being quite indecisive of what to smoke this year, we decided to smoke twelve robustos, one on each of the twelve days of Christmas, and review them head to head to decide which [...]

Partagas Shorts

The Minutos, or Demi Coronas, has to be one of the best and most well thought vitolas ever made. They are small, well constructed, -well at least some of them-, and pack a lot of flavor. You can have one in the morning, with your coffee, in the car on the way to work, and of [...]
